A. Burr's POV

I sat in the back of Debate class next to James Madison. The current debate was between Alexander Hamilton and (Y/N) (L/N). (Y/N) was the only other person who could match Alexander in debate, and in just everything else. It was something I admired her for.

By the end of the debate, the class was in awe (as usual) at their little 'battle'. The class voted (Y/N) winner, and Alexander grinned and they shook hands. She was the only person he didn't care about losing to. How was beyond me. They were really close friends, so I guess that's a reason. Alexander stayed on his podium, because he had to battle Thomas next. (Y/N) hopped off her podium and went to take her seat, her friends (she was friends with Alexander's friends... they were a group of their own called the 'Hamilsquad' or something) congratulating her. She took her seat next to Lafayette, and he high-fived her.

I knew the Frenchman had a crush on (Y/N), not good on my part. Sure, I was decent friends with her, but she saw Lafayette and her other friends every day. They talked a few moments, but then Thomas started his side of the debate. Lafayette looked forward but I watched as (Y/N) studied him a few moments before looking away. I didn't know what to make of it so I just looked past her, back to the debate.

Thomas had his good points, but of course Alexander tore them all down, ending with a smug expression and a yet another win on his side. As they stepped down, the bell rang and Professor Washington dismissed us. James and Thomas were talking and I looked at (Y/N) and Lafayette in front of me.

Lafayette turned to (Y/N). "Would you want to 'ead to the park, mon amie?"

(Y/N) turned to face him, smiling. "Sure! Let's go!" She grabbed his arm, pulling him up, and they ran out of the room. They were lucky we didn't need anything for this class.

I looked at James and Thomas. "I'll be heading out." They nodded.

I couldn't believe I was about to follow my crush to the park... (*gasp* bAd aArOn)

~ at the park ~

I somehow managed to keep a close distance without being spotted. (Y/N) and Lafayette were on a bench nearby, she was laughing at something he had said. I felt a pang of jealousy watching them. That could've been me. But it's not. Words that Alexander told me once stuck in my head...

"When you got skin in the game, you stay in the game. But you don't get a win unless you play in the game. Oh, you get love for it, you get hate for it, you get nothing if you wait for it." (oh how I love that song)

It made me take a moment to process what he said. I realized how much that worked in the context of my current situation. I was stuck in between staying out of or joining "the game". If I did, the chance of her awaited. If I didn't, she's open.

However, instead of actually doing something, I stayed away, waiting like always. I did move slightly closer though, so I could see better. I couldn't hear much however.

Lafayette and (Y/N) were facing each other slightly. I watched as he grabbed her hands. Her face flushed but there was a smile on her face. Lafayette said something, rather asked something, because (Y/N) nodded excitedly. Lafayette grinned and pulled her over more, kissing her. I could take a hint on what he asked. I watched their intimate moment before turning and walking away. For once, I regretted waiting for it.

Your POV (before that 'lovely' kiss)

Laf and I were chatting, our bodies turned so that they were facing each other. After a brief moment of silence, Laf grabbed both my hands, catching me by surprise. I felt my cheeks flare up but I couldn't help but smile.

Laf smiled sheepishly at me before speaking up. "Pardon me for being... 'ow you say... blunt? But... I think you are très beau. Would you be my girlfriend?"

I understood little French, but I understood what he said (translation at end for all you clueless humans). I nodded excitedly. "Yeah! Of course!"

Laf grinned and pulled me closer. He paused a moment before pressing his lips to mine. I let my eyes flutter shut and just enjoyed the moment. We broke apart after a few seconds, and I giggled. "Wow."

Laf chuckled. "Indeed." He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. "Je t'aime, (N/N)."

Glad I knew what that was too. I smiled brightly, leaning into his touch. "Je t'aime aussi, Laf."
